Chapter 57: The Bitterness in Nan Yanran's Heart

  In the alchemy room, after solidating his cultivation, Gu He's sciousness returned once again to the system space.

  Subsequently, Gu He separated a strand of his sciousness, gradually approag the golden egg suspended in the void.

  "Ding, may I ask if the host wishes to form a master-servant tract with the Goldeher Giant Eagle."

  Just as Gu He's sciousness approached, the system prompt slowly echoed in his mind.

  Without aation, Gu He directly decred, "Form a master-servant tract!"

  As Gu He spoke, a drop of crimson blood suddenly separated from his body, drifting towards the golden egg in the void.

  Gu He was slightly stunned, feeling a bit of fatigue as the crimson blood left his body.

  This was his essence blood.

  The moment, this drop of essence blood had already nded on the surface of the golden egg.

  Roar!

  At this moment, the golden egg burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

  Vaguely, Gu He seemed to hear a sharp eagle cry.

  The blood that dripped onto the golden egg suddeed a bright red glow, then densed into a blood-colored imprint, slowly seeping into the interior of the golden egg.

  After a moment, Gu He's expression ged slightly. He felt that, at this moment, a subtle e had beeablished between himself and the golden egg.

  He could sehat within the golden egg, a life was being nurtured.

  The life ihe giant egg seemed to sense his preseransmitting threads of affeate sciousness.

  "Is it a success?"

  Feeling all of this, Gu He's expression subtly ged, and a smile appeared on his face.

  He couldn't help but extend a strand of sciousness, approag the giant egg, making tact with the faint sciousness inside, expressing his friendliness.

  At this moment, Gu He once again vaguely sehe information emanating from the giant egg.

  "Do you need energy to hatch?"

  Gu He quickly uood the meaning of the giant egg, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

  The Goldeher Giant Eagle was undoubtedly a pure gold attribute magical beast.

  It seemed that the energy he needed was nothing more than gold attribute magic cores or old attribute treasures and genius materials.

  "It looks like I have to make arip to the Jia Ma Capital City," Gu He murmured to himself. After f the giant egg, his sciousness slowly exited the system space.

  Subsequently, Gu He left the alchemy room, spread his wings, and directly left Yu, heading towards the Jia Ma Capital City.

  Upon reag the Jia Ma Capital City, Gu He went straight to the Mitel Au House.

  Theook out his unlimited gold card and swept all gold attribute magic cores of fourth rank and above in the au house, as well as all old attribute treasures.

  Afterward, he went to other shops iy, using the same extravagant mao sweep all fourth-rank and above gold attribute treasures.

  In addition to gold attribute treasures, Gu He also bought a siderable amount of other necessary medial ingredients.

  For example, the materials for the blood-tempering pill and jade bone pill used by Liu Ling and Xiao Yi Xian.

  Since he had decided to enhance Liu Ling, Gu He naturally o prepare more materials.

  After pleting these tasks, Gu He did not linger in the Jia Ma Capital City; he flew directly back to Yu.

  Soon, in the alchemy room, Gu He pced all the purchased gold attribute treasures into the system space.

  Then, his sciousness ehe system space.

  Afterward, he separated a strand of sciousness and once again unicated with the giant egg.

  After a moment, the golden egg once agaied a dazzling golden light.

  With the appearance of the golden light, a faint dev force suddeed from within the golden egg.

  The target of this dev force was, surprisingly, the gold attribute treasures that Gu He had pced in the system space.

  Then, Gu He saw tiny golden light points dispersing from these gold attribute treasures, slowly drifting towards the golden egg, and ultimately merging into it.

  Gu He could feel that, after abs the energy from these gold attribute treasures, the giant egg seemed somewhat excited.

  The speed at which the giant egg absorbed energy was not fast. Gu He estimated that it would take about ten days for it to fully devour this batch of gold attribute treasures.

  After spending some time in the system space, Gu He slowly withdrew.

  Then, he summohe Dragon Soul Cauldron and began refining the blood-tempering pill and jade bone pill.

  Now, for him, besides his own cultivation, the most important thing was to enhahe physical strength of his disciples.

  ...

  Soon, another week passed.

  At Yu's main peak:

  In the courtyard, two figures in white robes were engaged in a graceful dispy of palm teiques, exging moves bad forth.

  **Hoo!** After a moment, following their final csh, Nan Yanran exhaled a breath, waving her hand, and said, "Xian'er, let's stop. Let's take a break."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian, who was fag Nan Yanran, smiled slightly and whispered, "Sure."

  Watg Xiao Yi Xian, who showed no signs of fatigue, Nan Yanra a bit defeated.

  During this time, the two of them had often practiced together.

  Because of Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation, it had put tremendous pressure on her.

  In this period, Nan Yanran had worked even harder in her cultivation.

  Three days ago, she finally made a breakthrough, reag the level of a Five-Star Dou Practitioner.

  She thought that after her breakthrough, with her exquisite bat skills, she should be able to gain a slight advantage against Xiao Yi Xian.

  However, to Nan Yanran's frustration, in their ret sparring, she felt an increasingly strong pressure from Xiao Yi Xian.

  Even Xiao Yi Xian's strength seemed mysterious and uable to her.

  "Where did Elder Gu He find such a monstrous talent..." Nan Yanran muttered to herself.

  Little did she know, while she felt stifled, Xiao Yi Xia even more unfortable.

  Now, the gap between Xiao Yi Xian and Nan Yanran was widening.

  When sparring with Nan Yanran, she was afraid of causing harm.

  For this reason, she had to carefully suppress her strength, fearing that using even a bit too much force might directly injure Nan Yanran.

  After this period of sparring, Xiao Yi Xian's gains were indeed substantial.

  Not to mention other things, her mastery of the Dou Qi within her body was almost unparalleled.

  Now, during battles, she could e to exert more force than necessary.

  And all of this was forced out by Nan Yanran.

  "Sister Xian'er, I'm going to the imperial capital ter. Do you have time? e with me." The two women sat in a pavilioing, drinking tea, aing pastries. Suddenly, Nan Yanran asked.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian thought about the poison she was about to run out of and the unhatched egg of the Ironwing Giant Eagle. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded slowly and said, "Senior Sister, I also have some things to attend to. I'll go with you."

  "Great, let's leave now."

  With that, a smile appeared on Nan Yanran's lips as she stood up and pulled Xiao Yi Xian towards the exit of Yu's mountain gate.
